sell at auction on the premises, ON the corner
of Ducas and Fairfield avenues, on Friday,
June 3, at o'clock in the afternoon, 100
feet frontage on Ducas street South Robert
street, by 119 feet on Fairfield avenue. This
property may be termed giltedged, a consid-
cradle amount of money has been spent in
putting in good stone retaining WALL and
substantial foundation has been partially
built for fine block of stores. This location
cannot be spoken of too highly, being near
the southern terminus of the Robert street
bridge and on street where thousands of
dollars are being laid out in good and sub
stantial improvements. The streets are all
graded, and business has taken very firm
hold on this part of the city, stores being
rented as soon as work is commenced on
them. To capitalists this is a fine opportu-
nifty, and as the property is to be sold at
whatever price it will bring, it is matter of
interest that large number will be present
